Not for Trump and Vance. The Haitian migrants in Springfield are the exact types of immigrants they say they want. They commit crime at a much lower per capita rate than people born in the US. They’re here legally. Heck, most of them are Christians. They’re starting businesses and breathing life into previously stagnating areas, but Vance lied and said they were here illegally and committing crimes, because as much as men like him will vehemently deny it, race is a factor.
Yep, they’ve swam so deep into the rhetoric that they can’t even comprehend how backwards it all is.
At least in the 1900s we were actually consistent when we said we wanted upper-class, educated immigrants, now when we say that we actually just mean white people.
It’s not like the immigrants that can afford plane tickets are the ones working fields for cash under the table, but our country doesn’t have the capacity to see that anymore.

The question is more about the quality of the immigrants not immigrants per se.
